Unexpected Treats Make Life Extra Sweet

October 7th, 2014 by Karen 17 Comments








Any day you unexpectedly get cupcakes is a great day. 🙂

My neighbor brought me this lovely box o’ sugary treats this morning from a local bakery called Susiecakes, and I came this close to eating them all in one sitting at lunch, not gonna lie!

If you give me a choice between salty and sweet, I’ll always choose sweet.

Mmm…sweets.

Have you ever known anyone who doesn’t like sweets? I’m always amazed when I bump into someone who doesn’t like candy or dessert. My BFF Cindy is like that. She’s ambivalent about sweets, which is not a problem when we hang out because it means more cake for me. 🙂

    Ah that’d be me then, the person who doesn’t like sweets 😛 I love savoury foods and savoury treats but I could quite easily go without eating any sweets for months at end.So if we sit down for a meal, you can have all the sweets! 🙂

    What a lovely treat from your neighbour!! She must be as lovely as you are. I, too, would have chosen a savoury treat any day though LOL.

    That was so nice! I have such an unhealthy addiction to cupcakes that I probably would have eaten them all at once lol. They look so delicious!

    Oh, I’m not much of a sweets person either. Just looking at the beautiful cupcakes makes my teeth hurt (you know the drill: braces in HS, sensitivity, intolerance to sweet). 🙂 My parents just returned from Europe with a truckload of Belgian, German and Swiss chocolate. I’m trying to eat one piece per week to be grateful.

    That’s so sweet of your neighbor to bring you these. I don’t understand how people may not like sweets! I could eat cake for braekfast, lunch and dinner!

    mmmmm…susicakes are delish! I could have a cupcake at every meal! YUM!! My hubby doesn’t like sweets. He’s more of a savory kind of guy, but I don’t mind it one bit…definitely means more for me! 🙂

    I’ve met people who aren’t into sweets, but .. they crave salty, creamy (Alfredo sauce) or carby items like breads.

    Everyone has a vice .. lol.

    um…is that a red velvet? OH, they would not last a day with me. AND, I like savory too! Hey, I’m an equal opportunity foodie.
    I’ve always prided myself for being diverse. 😀

    These cakes look like “mom” made them. SO GOOD…

    Your neighbor is lovely. And, if she’s buying you cake, you’re a good neighbor too. XO

    This is Customer Service Week at work and I had a cupcake on my desk when I got in today. Some days it does pay to get out of bed. And who needs storage tips for only four cupcakes? I’m with Agata. That’s just enough for breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack!

    I like sweet and salty at the same time. I like sweets but they can’t be too sweet. Next time you go to TJ’s pick up one of their sea salt and caramel dark chocolate bars! They are a great example.

    Those cupcakes look yummy! But I’m a pie kinda gal, love cherry and peach especially. Caramel popcorn is my obsession. I like some salty treats too like popcorn and nuts.
